The new stomotherapy protocol offers a cost-effective approach to wound dressing compared to traditional methods. Frequent dressing changes significantly impact overall treatment expenses, regardless of the method used.

Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences
  • Nursing
  • Medical Economics

Background:

  • Traditional wound dressings are widely used but may incur higher costs.
  • Healthcare institutions seek cost-effective treatment protocols.
  • The HC/UFMG Stomotherapy sector developed a new protocol for wound care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the cost-effectiveness of traditional wound dressings versus the HC/UFMG Stomotherapy protocol.
  • To identify key factors influencing the overall cost of wound treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative cost analysis of two wound dressing approaches.
  • Evaluation across various wound types.
  • Analysis of dressing change frequency as a cost determinant.

Main Results:

  • The HC/UFMG Stomotherapy protocol is more cost-effective than traditional methods.
  • Dressing change frequency is a significant cost driver in wound treatment.
  • Specific wound types may influence cost outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The HC/UFMG Stomotherapy protocol presents a financially advantageous alternative for wound management.
  • Optimizing dressing change frequency is crucial for reducing wound care costs.
  • Further research into wound-specific cost optimization is warranted.
